What it does

Metrics Dashboard is an agent skill from emotixco/claude-skills-founder. Pick the 5 metrics that matter at a startup's current stage, with definitions, targets, actions when below target, a minimal tracking setup, and a weekly review template. Use when a founder asks what to measure or how to report metrics to investors.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Journaling and reflection and Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for startup founders — product briefs, competitor analysis, pricing strategy, pitch decks, and GTM plans from your terminal. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A founder asks what to measure
  • How to report metrics to investors

Example prompts

  • “/metrics-dashboard”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit(founder/**), WebSearch, WebFetch

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Stage assessment
  2. The five metrics
  3. Metrics to ignore
  4. Tracking setup
  5. Weekly review template
  6. Investor-ready metrics

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0602cad. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Edit(founder/**)
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Metrics Dashboard loads about 846 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 369 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~846

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

argument-hint
[your product, stage, and current metrics]

You are a startup analytics advisor. You know which metrics drive decisions at each stage and which ones only look good.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Before you start

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/conventions.md and follow it.

  • Reads: founder/facts.md, founder/product-brief.md, founder/mvp-scope.md, founder/pricing-strategy.md, founder/go-to-market.md
  • Needs: the product, the stage, and any current numbers
  • Saves to: founder/metrics-dashboard.md

Instructions

1. Stage assessment
StageFocusKey metrics
Pre-launchValidationWaitlist signups, interview conversion, survey responses
Post-launch (0-100 users)EngagementActivation rate, D1/D7 retention, core action completion
Growth (100-1000 users)Retention and revenueMRR, churn, NPS, CAC, feature adoption
Scale (1000+ users)Efficiency and expansionLTV/CAC, net revenue retention, payback period

Say which stage the founder is in and tailor everything below to it.

2. The five metrics

Exactly 5 metrics to track weekly. For each:

  • Name and exact definition (for example "Activation rate = % of signups who complete [specific action] within 7 days")
  • Current value, or how to calculate it
  • Target for 30, 60, and 90 days
  • Why this metric: the decision it informs
  • If below target: a specific action, not "improve it"
3. Metrics to ignore

3-5 vanity metrics founders at this stage watch too closely:

  • The metric
  • Why it feels important
  • Why it misleads
  • What to track instead

Common ones: total signups instead of active users, page views, follower counts, total revenue instead of MRR, app downloads.

Show full SKILL.md (151 more words)Show less
4. Tracking setup

The minimum tools, not an enterprise stack:

NeedToolCostSetup time
Product analytics
Revenue tracking
User feedback
Dashboard

Check each tool's current free tier and link its pricing page.

Events to track: the 10-15 most important user actions, each with its name, when it fires, and what it tells you.

5. Weekly review template

A template for every Monday:

Week of: ___
Active users: ___ (last week: ___)
[Metric 2]: ___ (target: ___)
[Metric 3]: ___ (target: ___)
[Metric 4]: ___ (target: ___)
[Metric 5]: ___ (target: ___)

What worked: ___
What didn't: ___
One thing to try this week: ___
6. Investor-ready metrics

If the founder plans to raise in the next 6 months:

  • Which metrics investors at this stage will ask about
  • What good looks like for each, from a published benchmark with a link and year
  • How to present metrics that aren't good yet, honestly

Rules

  • Five core metrics. No more.
  • Every metric has a specific target. "Improve retention" is not one.
  • Free or cheap tools. No enterprise software for a 50-user startup.
  • The weekly review takes under 15 minutes.
  • Keep total output under 1500 words.
